Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Researchers 3D print circuit board that can be dissolved in water. DissolvPCB can be created using a standard FDM system, PVA ...

Single-use electronic devices pose a challenge, as the heavy metals and other toxic materials in them shouldn't just be released into the environment, yet those substances are difficult to reclaim.

Electronics such as Bluetooth speakers can be 3D-printed from a material that dissolves in water within hours. That allows designers to rapidly create prototypes, enables easier recycling of the ...
